I listened to a spectacular interview today with the writer Jayson Greene and writer-interviewerKate Bowler about grief. Jayson´s 2 year old daughter was tragically and randomly killed a few years ago from a random falling brick from a building. The inteview brought me into new shades of color about grief, and a better sense of language around it. Here is something Jayson said that I really resonated with:

“There is a beauty to the intimacy and the sheer power of the feelings that come to you when you are in grief. Grief is terrible in many ways, but terrible has many meanings. Terrible can mean powerful. Grief can be beautiful in the way that it latched you to the most profound experiences you can have…grief is a language of love. Grief only proceeds out of love. There can be no grief where there is no love. And so loving someone is signing up for the possibility that you may in fact grieve them at some point.”
